Savings Bond Wizard

[s'news]

I'm looking for help. My Savings Bond Wizard ran out at the end of May and won't update my bonds. The automatic update doesn't work. What do I need to do?

When I do the update, it runs and says everything is complete. But it didn't update with current dates.

This happened six months ago, I think, when it previously needed to be updated. I just kept trying the automatic update from time to time and it finally worked.

There's a way to manually update, but that's for computers that don't have Internet access. I'm fine on that front.

Bonds ... savings bonds.

What the freak is a Savings Bond Wizard?!

I keep all my cash in offshore accounts.

I"m with Dyckums .. what? We have savings bonds as well ... tucked away in a fire box. The only time I ever think of them is when I go into to Firebox {basically once a year to replace the home owners insurance info.} I think I've only ever checked their value once .. and I used a web site I found using Google. You'd think the bonds would have earned some money by now - considering they were bought when my son was a baby. I don't think they've even reached face value yet.

Ok .. I was curious - was it THIS: http://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/tools/tools_savingsbondwizard.htm

They say to upgrade to the new version theyve uploaded in May. Perhaps you need to do that?

Hmmm. There's an upgrade. I'll try it. Wish me luck.

Success! Thank you.

For anyone who might care, the Savings Bond Wizard is handy if you have a number of savings bonds. You enter the information and can then update the values on a bunch of bonds at once, at any time. Most online calculators will make you update one at a time.

But not deaf, dumb and blind anymore, since that mirror smashed and he went through the whole ministry thing.

Why yes, yes I am. Thank you for noticing.

You only save twice, Mr. Bond.

Do you roll a ten, eight, or 20 sided die to make a savings bond wizard?

Nah. You just download it. And stay alert for updates.
